Your decision to choose any major and, subsequently, persist in its completion is dependent on your academic and social experiences in college. Not only will a research experience enable you to be more knowledgeable and experienced in your area, it will provide an opportunity for positive interactions with peers, graduate students, and faculty in your department that will strengthen your support network. As a result, you can more easily identify yourself with those in your discipline, and your commitment to the completion of your degree is enhanced.
